Stay away from btc If you are futures trader btc moving too slow.
Please don't stay away from BTC since if you can predict BTC moves you can predict the most market is going. In fact, most of traders that I have followed what they do first is predict BTC moving after that they start to analyze the altcoin. Bitcoin waves is real.
Good Luck

If you cant be good in trading btc, might as well that you will also find it hard to be profitable from trading altcoins. So stick to bitcoin regardless of how the market performs. And as a trader, never go all for money because you will definitely fall from that mindset. Just take advantage in every possible chances, and do stoploss whenever its badly needed.
